Houthis Claim Drone and Missile Strikes on Saudi Airport, Aramco Refinery Amid Escalation
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed multiple drone and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, an Aramco refinery in Rabigh, and military sites in southern regions. The Houthis said these strikes were in response to ongoing Saudi air raids on Yemen, which they say have caused civilian casualties. Saudi Arabia condemned the attacks and intensified its military operations against the Houthis, with support pledged by Pakistan and Turkey. The conflict reflects escalating tensions in the region.
